Discussion A. Recycle Center Permit Issue — Theresa Ryder Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 7:34 PM and explained the issue regarding Mrs. Theresa Ryder. Mrs. Ryder states that she is a "part-time" resident. She lives and works in New York City and lives in the Town of Wappinger on the weekends. She came in for a recycle center permit and was denied by the Town Clerk's Office for not being able to prove residency. She drafted and submitted a letter to the Town Board asking to be included on the agenda for discussion. Supervisor Ruggiero then asked for the thoughts of the Board. Councilman Beale stated that he had obtained the property card for that address from the Dutchess County Parcel Access website and Mrs. Ryder is in fact the owner of that property. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that the Town was aware that Mrs. Ryder owned the property. Councilman Beale then asked what the policy is. Supervisor Ruggiero pointed out that someone could own a single family home and rent it out. The policy has been that the program was only for residents. Applicants for Recycle Center permits were asked to show a Driver's License to prove residency. He explained that even the Driver's License was not fully sufficient in some cases and cited examples. Councilman Beale asked, if she paid taxes to the Town, is she entitled to the service. Supervisor Ruggiero answered, "No" and explained that the Town Board has established the policy that it is for Town residents. The Board then discussed the method of determining who should be granted access to the site. Councilman Paoloni further described the problems and pointed out that he did not think of these issues when setting the policy. Councilman Bettina stated that he was still against letting businesses use the recycle center, but asked why a resident that was paying taxes couldn't use the site. Councilman Beale asked if there were other acceptable forms of ID, such as a Central Hudson Bill. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that an electric bill is not a form of ID. He then explained the forms of ID that the Town has been asking for. Discussion followed. Councilman Beale commented that this resident pays taxes to the town, and although she doesn't live in Wappinger seven days a week, she should not be prohibited from using the site. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, how the Town establishes residency. Mr. Roberts explained that a person can have several residences, but only one domicile. The address that a person votes from, for example, is his domicile. He recommended that the Board set standards that would determine whether a resident is permitted to use the site. Supervisor Ruggiero pointed out that there have been several cases where residents of other towns, who also happen to own rental units in the Town of Wappinger, have come in to obtain recycle center permits. Mr. Roberts clarified that the person who lives in one community and owns property in a second community is not a resident of that second community. Councilman Bettina echoed Councilman Beale's comment that if the resident was paying taxes he should be entitled to use the site. Councilman Paoloni stated that an electric bill or a Driver's License should be sufficient. Graham Foster, Town Highway Superintendent, made the point that this particular resident also lived in New York City. It is unlikely that she would bring trash from the city to dump in Wappinger. If the other residence was in East Fishkill, for example, it would be easy to bring trash to Wappinger. In regards to the residents of other towns that owned rental units in Wappinger, he pointed out that the electric bill would be in the renter's name. Supervisor Ruggiero asked if the Board would like to amend the policy to allow the use Town of Wappinger Page I Printed 3/1/2007 Town Board Meeting Minutes February 12, 2007 of utility bills to prove residency for this program. Councilman Beale recommended that the resident also provide a Driver's License or other form of identification. Councilwoman McCarthy made a motion to allow the Town Clerk's Office to accept utility and phone bills, with a picture ID, in order to prove residency for this specific program. Councilman Bettina seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Town Clerk was then instructed to contact Mrs. Ryder to inform her of the change. The discussion was then closed at 7:52 PM. 1. Motion To: allow utility and phone bills to be accepted as proofs of residency for the Recycle Center. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Maureen McCarthy, Councilwoman SECONDER: Vincent Bettina, Councilman AYES: Ruggiero, Beale, Bettina, McCarthy, Paoloni B. Airport Soccer Fields — Perry DiPiazza Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 7:53 and asked Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town, to update the Board on this topic. Mr. Paggi reminded the board of their question as to how the 10 year analysis of the Field Turf field compared to that of a natural grass field. Perry DiPiazza sent a letter to Mr. Paggi comparing the two. Mr. Paggi then sent the letter to the Board. He proceeded to explain the contents of that letter. The Field Turf product has a useful life of ten years. At the end of those ten years, it needs to be replaced. The cost of replacement is 55% of the original installation cost. The Field Turf has a 2007 price of $4.50 per square foot. At the end of ten years, the replacement cost is about 55% of that number. The replacement value will need to be factored into the cost of the Field Turf. He went on to explain the breakdown of the cost analysis as outlined in the report. Councilman Paoloni asked if the Town has been experiencing a $52,500 cost to maintain the fields per year. Mr. Paggi and Supervisor Ruggiero replied that it has not. The reason for including the figure in the report is that, if the Town is going to make a capital investment like this, it would be in the best interest to properly maintain it. That cost of maintaining that sod field would cost $52,500. Councilman Paoloni asked what the Town was currently paying to maintain the fields. Supervisor Ruggiero and Mr. Paggi replied that it was "minimal". Mr. Paggi again stated that it is important to factor in the replacement value, which is approximately $190,000. The replacement cost for the sod field, if properly maintained, should not be a tremendous capital investment. Discussion followed. Supervisor Ruggiero asked if the current problems at the field would be an issue if the drainage conditions were corrected. Mr. Paggi replied that they wouldn't. The only problems with the sod fields are that they need to be rotated, mowed, fertilized, watered, etc. Councilman Paoloni pointed out that this was only supposed to be one part of the topic. The other part had to do with the fact that the program is a shared program. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that that meeting is set for March 8th, 2007. Supervisor Ruggiero asked if there were any further questions. There were none. He then closed the discussion at 8:02 PM. C. Carnwath Restoration — Don Swartz Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 8:02 PM. Don Swartz, of The Swartz Architectural Group, was on hand to update the Board on the status of the emergency repairs at Carnwath. Mr. Swartz introduced the others in attendance for this discussion including: Michael Bufi, Pat Conlon, Larry Holzapfel from QuES&T, and Joe Manfredi from Manfredi Constructions. He then discussed the work that had been done since the Emergency Town Board Meeting on January 29th, 2007. A PowerPoint slideshow was used to illustrate the repairs made and the current conditions. Larry Holzapfel commented that the first floor is now virtually asbestos -free. Mr. Swartz continued with his presentation. Councilman Paoloni asked about the external of the building. He commented that the emergency was also for the outside. Mr. Swartz replied that the emergency was not for the outside. In terms of the floor work that he is doing, the only place that there may be an emergency that may transfer to the exterior is if, when he gets up to the third floor, he discovers something in a roof member that is rotten and goes through to the exterior of the perimeter wall. Everything else is internal. Councilman Paoloni followed up by asking if it were correct that it would not be known if the emergency could be lifted until they hit the third floor. Mr. Swartz confirmed that they would not know if there is an emergency on the third floor until they get up there to look at it. They do know of one portion in which there is an evident spot where the roof framing has deteriorated due to a roof leak. They would have to look at the extent of that deterioration. Councilman Bettina stated that he was under the impression that the whole building was in danger of collapsing and that was the basis of the emergency meeting. He asked if that is what Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 3/1/2007 Fil Town Board Meeting Minutes February 12, 2007 Mr. Swartz is telling him. Mr. Swartz replied that that was not the case. He is saying that the floors inside the building were in danger of collapse. Mr. Swartz referred to a previous meeting in which the question was directed to Mr. Conlon whether the building was able to collapse based on the conditions that he observed. Mr. Conlon believed that the potential was there. Mr. Swartz and Mr. Manfredi explained that the floor, if pocketed into the exterior wall, could take down the entire wall. Mr. Manfredi went on to say that the interior stairwell wall was a three story wall and is in danger of coming down. That could take down the building from the interior. Discussion followed. Councilman Bettina commented on the fact that the workers would start at the first floor and go floor after floor. He asked how much it was estimated to cost per floor. Mr. Paggi replied that it was $150,000 per floor, or $600,000 altogether. Supervisor Ruggiero explained that the Town was going forward with the understanding that, as the workers move up, the emergency danger status would be lifted. The way that it was explained to the Board two weeks ago is that, although the first floor status may be known, the condition of the floors two and three and the roof rafters would still need to be known. Councilman Bettina asked if there were specifications or drawings to look at. Mr. Swartz replied that there were specifications and drawings for the first floor repairs. Supervisor Ruggiero added that, over a year ago, the Board authorized the Di Salvo Ericson Group to design a "super -structure" under the first floor. Discussion followed pertaining to the meetings and actions taken during that May to August timeframe. Councilman Paoloni asked when the emergency would be lifted. Mr. Conlon replied that there were two or three phases. The first phase is to evaluate the first floor. They are now engaged in an effort to repair the first floor. They are prepared to investigate the second and third floors, but that investigation cannot be done without exposing certain portions of those floors. The first floor was easier to evaluate because the entire underside was exposed. To inspect the second and third floors, the finishes would need to be removed. Those finishes can't be removed until the abatements are completed. He planned on visiting the site tomorrow to mark the areas that he wanted probed on the second and third floors. Discussion followed. Councilman Beale asked if the decks could be reattached after the floors are stabilized and the roof replaced. Mr. Swartz replied that the exterior decks could then be replaced but there were other exterior issues to be address. At this point, those issues are not structural issues. Councilman Paoloni again asked when the state of emergency could be lifted. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that it would be lifted when the building is safe. Councilman Paoloni asked when that would be. Supervisor Ruggiero answered that it would be when the building received r a clean bill of health on all of the floors. Councilman Paoloni then asked if it were possible to have the state of emergency be lifted after one floor. Supervisor Ruggiero responded that it was possible. Discussion followed. Mr. Swartz then turned the discussion to the Carriage House issue. The methodology concerning the Carriage House was the same as on the Mansion. They wanted to find out what the least amount of work was to get the building secure and stabile. Supervisor Ruggiero brought up the current use of the Carriage House and discussion followed. Mr. Conlon asked the Board to review the report that he has submitted and to turn their attention to the summary section. He then proceeded to explain the elements of the summary one -by -one. There were two categories of repairs to be made. The first set was "extremely severe conditions" and the second was "other conditions in need of repair". Mr. Conlon then went over all of these conditions in the order in which they are listed in his report. Mr. Manfredi commented that he was going to meet with Mr. Conlon to go over some plans and discuss details. Councilman Bettina asked if the plan was to repair the Carriage House to put it back in its normal state. Mr. Swartz replied that, under the direction and guidance that he has been given by the Board, he is to go through the items that have been labeled emergency by Mr. Conlon. Councilman Bettina then stated that he was told that there was a set of detailed plans. Mr. Swartz and Supervisor Ruggiero clarified that that applied to the Mansion. The current goal is to get rid of the emergent conditions. He recommends that the Board look at conditions 1-15 and see what they entail. At that point, the Board should decide if it wants to continue to invest in the repairs. Supervisor Ruggiero added that he wanted the engineers and contractors to come up with a number so that the Board could further discuss the situation. Councilman Bettina continued that there was no work to be done until that point. Supervisor Ruggiero confirmed. Councilman Paoloni asked why this had to be part of the emergency. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that it was because the building is collapsing. Councilman Beale asked if there was any equipment in the structure. Mr. Swartz replied that there was. Councilman Beale stated that the equipment should be taken out. He followed up by asking if the structure was fenced in. Mr. Swartz answered that it was. Supervisor Ruggiero asked which building was in worse condition. Mr. Conlon replied that the Carriage House was in worse shape. Discussion followed. Councilman Paoloni asked if it were possible to fence off the area and then proceed with the normal bidding procedure. Councilman Beale stated that he thought the goal was to prevent eminent collapse. With the heavy snows that have come, and will Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 3/1/2007 Town Board Meeting Minutes February 12, 2007 continue to come, he feels better that the first floor has been reconstructed. Councilman Paoloni then asked if the site and Sports Museum could have been closed and area fenced off so that the Town could have gone out to bid. Mr. Paggi explained that you couldn't determine the scope of work without getting into the buildings. To get in and determine the scope, emergency shoring and stabilization needed to be conducted. Discussion on whether the Town should have gone out to bid followed. Supervisor Ruggiero explained that the Town could not sit idly by for the 30 day bid process to carry out. He went on to say that there would be liability issues if the Town did nothing to make the situation safer. Discussion followed. Councilman Beale asked when the Board would be hearing back from the engineers about the predicted expenses. Mr. Manfredi replied that it would probably be in the beginning of next week. Having no other comments or questions, the discussion was closed at 9:14 PM. D. Town Reimbursement Policy Supervisor Ruggiero opened the discussion at 9:14 PM. He mentioned a memo that was put out by the Town Comptroller, Jean Gallucci, regarding reimbursements for Town employees that attend the Association of Towns conference. In the past, the employees were given a check for $220.00 up front. According to the municipal guidelines, the employees were supposed to account for those expenses. That practice never happened. Resolution 2007-54 is before the Board to establish a firm set of guidelines. In this case, the employee would be reimbursed after the occasion for up to $55.00 for the cost of meals. Reimbursements for guests and for alcohol would not be permitted. Councilman Bettina stated that he had looked into this matter. He went on to say that in Section 2006-41 of the Internal Revenue Procedures, the amount is $58.00 without receipts. Under the New York State Municipal Law, only over the $58.00 limit is documentation required. Mr. Bettina then discussed the per diem table rates. He added that he had already spoken with the Town of Fishkill Supervisor and would like the issue reviewed by the Town auditors. Supervisor Ruggiero stated that he didn't think this needed to go to the auditors for review because this was in line with the State Comptroller's guidelines. He went on to say that it is arbitrary what the level is set at. $55.00 has traditionally been what the employees were given. If this is delayed by going to the auditors, there would be no reimbursement for the Town employees that attend this year's Association of Towns Conference. He then read the section from the General Municipal Law. Councilman Paoloni pointed out that the Town is consistently trying to be compliant with the State in regards to fence laws and agricultural district laws and asked if the Town was now setting guidelines that are different from State guidelines. Supervisor Ruggiero again read the opinion of the State Comptroller regarding reimbursement. He referenced General Municipal Law 77 Section B. Councilman Paoloni commented that this discussion was aimed at and the Resolution pertained specifically to the New York State Association of Towns Conference. He asked that the Resolution be amended to include all applicable training events. In other words, it should pertain to any overnight conference. Councilman Bettina stated that he did not have a problem with the Resolution, but would still like the Town auditors to look it over and provide their opinion. Supervisor Ruggiero asked what the Board wished to do about the New York State Association of Towns Conference. Councilman Beale asked for clarification on the process as it occurred in the past. Supervisor Ruggiero clarified. Councilman Paoloni explained that the only real difference is that receipts are now required. Councilman Beale asked if the $55.00 limit was appropriate. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that it was more than appropriate. Councilman Beale then recommended that the Resolution be left as is for this particular conference. The Board can discuss the issue at a later time for future conferences. Discussion followed. Supervisor Ruggiero closed the discussion at 9:31 PM. III.

Councilman Beale New Business Councilman Beale mentioned that he was contacted by Robert Freeman regarding web casting. Mr. Freeman is interested in speaking to the Town Board about the Executive Order passed down from the Governor's Office regarding the web casting of public meetings. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that he would have it put on the agenda if Councilman Beale could provide the person's contact information. Next, Councilman Beale brought up the topic of the Tow Truck Law. He pointed out that there has been progress made since it was last before the Board. A Resolution is being drafted and will be ready for the Board soon. The last topic brought up by Councilman Beale had to do with Sunset Farms Trailer Park. He reminded the Board of the issue that was brought up at the last meeting. Councilman Beale responded to an emergency call at Sunset Farms Trailer Park and noticed that the numbers of the trailers were out of order. In following up on the issue, he found out that there is a process for the Town to follow to request the numbers be changed. He recommends that, in the interest of safety, the Town look at this particular trailer park and address the numbering issue. Supervisor Ruggiero asked Graham Foster, Town Highway Superintendent, if the numbers at this park had been changed. Mr. Foster replied that the address for the park changed from Ketchamtown Road to 52 Osborne Hill Road, but the trailer numbers didn't change. Supervisor Ruggiero commented on a similar issue involving an area on DeGarmo Hill Road approximately four years ago. The County wanted to come through and renumber addresses for 911. The residents petitioned to have the renumbering stopped. For that reason, Supervisor Ruggiero recommended reaching out to the residents to hear their opinion before initiating the process of having the numbers changed. Councilman Beale asked that a letter be drafted to Dutchess County 911 to look at this issue. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that that could be done. Director of Code Enforcement, George Kolb, added that the same problem was occurring at the Tuscany Subdivision. 2. Councilman Bettina New Business Councilman Bettina asked what the status of the Chelsea Road and River Road speed study was. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that it was with the County. Councilman Beale added that there was discussion of making that area a work zone as well. 3. Councilwoman McCarthy New Business Councilwoman McCarthy stated that she was aware that the water was going to be shut off temporarily in Rockingham and asked if the residents were notified other than by posting a Town of Wappinger Page 14 Printed 3/1/2007 Town Board Meeting Minutes February 12, 2007 notice in the newspaper. She asked if it was announced over the radio, for example. Gina Basile, secretary to the Supervisor, replied that it was on the website and she believes that leaflets were delivered door-to-door in advance. 4. Councilman Paoloni New Business Councilman Paoloni asked if Supervisor Ruggiero knew the name of the vendor that provided the sticker signs that the Town has up. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that the vendor was Superior Signs. Discussion followed. 5. Vic Fanuele Vic Fanuele, Chairman to the Zoning Board of Appeals, commented that members of his Board were heading down to the Association of Towns in a few days and still had no hotel confirmation. Supervisor Ruggiero replied that a memo would be sent out to all attendees. The memo would act as a hotel confirmation as well as notify everyone of the new reimbursement policy. 6. Supervisor Ruggiero New Business Supervisor Ruggiero notified the Board that a meeting needed to be scheduled to interview candidates for the Zoning Board, Planning Board and Board of Assessment Review. Discussion followed. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, reminded Supervisor Ruggiero that the 26th of February was not a good date for the interviews because it conflicted with the "40 Under 40" Banquet. Supervisor Ruggiero asked if it would be possible to move the Town Board Meeting for February 26th, 2007 to 8:00 PM. Councilman Paoloni made a motion to move the February 26th Town Board Meeting start time back to 8:00 PM. Councilwoman McCarthy seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Supervisor Ruggiero then commented that he would check the calendar and try to schedule the interviews for the Monday after the 26th of February. 7.
